    I didn't see a single photo what is the point of this? Those tiny things could have been anything and just random polygons on the ground...

    So it takes multiple pictures and turns them into a 3D environment. My question is, why does every building look like a bunch of dots? The pictures people take of buildings are much bigger and should provide more detail no? Or is it only using the 2D images from different angles to determine the 3D shape of a building without providing detail?

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher: I don't know exactly how it works with this, but when using stuff like Boujou to make a 3D scene from video all it produces is a 3D cloud of dot's, the barebones shape is there still though, but it doesn't knock out a 3D model.

    Why wouldn't they just team up with the guys at the Internet Archive?

    @winkydink: I think they could easily use the Archive's data—what they've built is the interface for indexing and rapidly calling up the data in slider format, not to mention the use of the two different archived pages at the same time.
